Cleaning My Closet and I find...

Poems from 6th grade. Enjoy.

Untitled
Hannah
Musical, smart
Sister of Allison and Cora
Lover of good grades, hard math problems, and Ruby
Who feels happy when choir is over, grumpy in the morning, ready to strangle my older sister when she slaps me
Who needs a cold glass of Dr. Pepper, a loaf of bread in front of me, and music every 2 minutes
Who gives help on homework, love to those who need it, and happiness to my family
Who fears spiders, late homework, and getting the wrong answer
Who would like to see Elvis, Van Morrison, and my cousins
Resident of Virginia

Morning
Morning
Swept
Up
Behind
Me
From
Nowhere
As
I
Brushed
My
Teeth
And
Got
Into
Bed.

The Roller Coaster
Yawn!
I waited in line for the roller coaster
'Right this way.' He said
And right that way I went

Into the car
Buckle Buckle CLICK CLICK!
Clickity Clack, Clickity Clack
Up the hill I went

Oh no!
Gasp!
We're going down the hill
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The girl behind me just giggled!
He he he he he he he he he he he he!
I expect she's rode this before
He he he he he he he he he he he he!

As we turned the corner
Ready for the loop
BLEH! Barf! GAG!!
Every one in front of me!

Finally
ERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
The ride was over
I stepped out of the car, dazed

I shall never ride that again I said
Only to find my friend making me go
Just to say
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! again.

Piano Memory 
As I sat in class that day,
I thought, when will this end?
Finally we packed and lined up
Onto the bus we went
I got off at my street
Ready for the challenge ahead
For today was my first piano lesson
Oh how I dread!
She welcomed me in and I sat down
Before me lay a grand piano
Black and shiny ivories
Were stretched across the board
I was scared at first, I cried a little
I didn't know what to do!
She asked me to play a piece
So I did, one that I really knew
That was the day everything started
That wondrous glorious day!

When Shopping With Your Sister
Stay far behind
Don't ask to borrow money
If she likes a shirt, don't tell her it's ugly
Don't go somewhere she doesn't want to
When she tells you to buy something for her, buy it
When she wants to eat, don't tell her where to go
When shopping with your sister,
Stay home!

The Mess
Above the socks
Underneath the shirt
Next to the jeans
On my books
Over the bed
By the underwear
Near the boot
Beyond the ruler
Under last week's homework
Around the desk
At my dresser
Beneath the deodorant
Enclosed in my closer
Inside you will see
Behind the other boot,
Me.

2020
In 2020,
There are no plates
Food comes in tubes now
Squirt, and keep moving

My children's classes are recorded
No more leaving the house
The cars fly, no traffic!
We seldom use the plane

I remember the good old days
Gas powered cars
We ate with knife and fork
And 100 story building, now they have 10,000!

There are no more libraries
Just put on the eye computer (not big)
And read anything you choose!
No more rainforests, they've all been cleared

Over all I like the new age
But I always remember
The good
Old Days

Poems
They are full of rhyme
But they have no rules at all
Poems are feelings

Willow Tree
It blows in the breeze
Sewing the wind together
Singing its own song
